Absolutely absurd save yourself the hassle
Sounds like cough, cough, cough followed by a phone call to the CP telling him you are sick at 3 or 4 minutes to push at a through stop in a remote location....that ought to be worth 500 or so. I bet he will answer the phone then. When you have to pay for your hotel room its time to start playing hardball.

The TER people are out of control. I got an email last week about a missing July receipt from Wuxi. A few open time emails later was another email saying they had received the receipt from the hotel and everything was good. I know the receipt was in the envelope and I scan everything for backups.

I've accepted a January class at Atlas. I'm going for the 767 and have a couple questions that I probably should have asked earlier. Actually, they're assumptions that I made but just want to confirm.

1) I assume that the majority of 767 flying will be for Amazon. Will that flying tend to have Friday/Saturdays off or Saturday/Sundays off? and

2) What is the average monthly credit and how many days per month for a line holder, flying the 767?


3) Will the Amazon flying be mostly out-and-back?

1. You’ll owe any arbitrary combination of 17 days per month to the company.

2. I’m a 3rd year FO here. This month will be the 3rd month this year that I’ve made (barely) more than the min guarantee (62 hours). Keep in mind that first year guarantee is 50 hours, so you may be crediting as little as that.

3. No, see above. You’ll have either 17 days straight on the road, or some arbitrary combination of days on/off that will equal 16-17 days of work per month, not including travel days.

I’ve made less money every year since I’ve been here, as it gets harder and harder to break guarantee. I have never earned more than $70k/yr here. Just the facts.

Hey there.

3 year 767 CVG FO.

Plan on doing 17 day trips. All over the planet.
R3 at the DHL hub between 3am-9am doing whatever they desire.
Be careful when you bid, or you can get a 34 day trip.
Junior Manning
No overtime time flying due to your seniority.
Upgrade time at least 5 year ago.
Never breaking min 62 hours
I'll make 70k this year on 3 year pay. NO OT

OH- we just met with mgmt on Friday. Not even a hint of a CBA anytime soon.

17 days isn't totally accurate, if you are a commuter you will be coming in a day early as most of the Amazon departures are early Z time (the evening of the departure, local time). The company insists you arrive 10 hrs before departure, so you are leaving one or two days Z prior to the departure. You will be away from home 18 to 19 days per month depending if you commute once or twice. Day night swapping point to point round Robbin routes. The most miserable existence in the industry right now.
